Right on. I just ordered some new gaskets, a set of four from eBay @ 2.13 a 
piece. I did find a website that sold 10 of them for 13 bucks but decided 
against it as I'd never bought anything from them before. Think it was 
partsnmore. Just seemed like a "too good to be true" kind of thing. Plus, the 
ones I got off eBay actually has the oem part number listed with the item. The 
partsnmore one did not. For what it's worth. 

Anyways, if we cant drill this thing out tomorrow or Thursday I'll probably 
just end up taking it to the custom chopper shop down the street from my work. 
Failing that or if they want to remove the head I'm just gonna try Stuffing 2 
gaskets in the port and hoping it silences the leak. 

I've noticed a loss of power due to my leak. I also feel like I'm hurting the 
motor (whether or not I am doesn't really matter to me) and my gas mileage has 
gone down a lot. Like 10-15 mpg difference which I really don't like. I've read 
the valves can erode after a while of riding with a leak due to cool air 
getting sucked into the port and hitting the hot valves. Idk if that's true. 
But hey, who knows? (Think the words "valve damage" was posted above 
somewhere.)
